Les tunnels du Hamas ne vont pas jusqu’aux kibboutz, sont creusés de telle manière à atteindre des cibles militaires.

In each case, as with the June 2006 abduction of Gilad Shalit, the operatives surfaced several hundred meters within Israel and several hundred meters away from a civilian settlement. In each case anti-tank missiles were fired at soldiers, either in passing vehicles or static posts.
